Thread: Roy Underhill's new book

    Roy Underhill's new book

    Roy Underhill has a new piece out although it's in a somewhat different direction. The title is "Calvin Cobb, Radio Woodworker, A Novel With Measured Drawings". It's a very quality looking hardcover item with great graphics on the dust jacket. Book is a well done piece of publishing, nicely bound and produced by "Lost Art Press", printed in the USA. My copy arrived in the mail about 20 minutes ago and I'm anxious to start reading, the flap inside the dust jacket promises several interesting evenings.

    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night

    I will. I purchased directly from the publisher although I believe it's available from Lee Valley, Highland Woodworking, and a couple others.

    I saw that book and almost bought it, but I am not a fiction reader. I, as well, would like to know what you think of it.

    I enjoyed the book and found it to be a excellent read. I've placed it in the classifieds for someone else to enjoy.
